define "animated"
like, are you talking about animation where parts of the model move or are you just asking about animated textures? If you are talking about moving parts, do you want it to be something the player holds in their hand or should it be some kind of fake entity?
etc.

I want to create a Item where one part of the model moves

well, depending on the kind of movement you need, you'd either need to:

• replace the model every tick in the player's hand with a different model that's slightly differently posed etc. or
• fake movement with an animated texture

that youtube link shows the animated texture trick
One tip: give the animated part a separate texture than the static parts, else your texture is gonna be unnecessarily big.
